Mississippi Senate Race Comes Down to Turnout

Cook Political Report: “Republicans are fairly confident they will win, though they acknowledge that the race has closed and Hyde-Smith is ahead by just five points… There hasn’t been a public poll released in the race since the middle of October.”

“The biggest unknown in this race is the degree to which voters are engaged enough to head to the polls. They are certainly being bombarded with ads across all media platforms, but they are also thinking about Thanksgiving, college football, Black Friday bargains and holiday decorating. Where does going to the polls on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving fit on that list of priorities?”

“The odds of Hyde-Smith winning this contest are far greater than of Democrats pulling an upset, but observers might be surprised by how close the margin ends up being. The race will remain in the Lean Republican column.”

2. I sent my last batch of postcards for Mike Espy yesterday.

It's too late for the Espy campaign, but there may be others. A new unique way to GOTV, thanks to the digital world.

3. I have no faith in fair elections concerning

red states, especially in Mississippi.

4. It goes beyond ideology

as GOP voters once again back a person clearly unfit for office.
